Chapter 62: The Road to Survival



"Daya, why are you washing with your clothes on?" Old Mrs. Xu's voice came from the shore behind Xu Ning. Xu Ning suddenly stopped humming a little tune and turned his head to see Zhang who was still in a daze.

"Grandma, it's broad daylight, it's not good to wash naked."

"Can you wash this piece of cloth you're wearing?"

"Of course, this dress is not heavy! Grandma, try putting it on and washing it later!" Both Old Lady Xu and Mrs. Zhang were not very tall. Old Lady Xu was nearly 1.6 meters tall, and Mrs. Zhang was a little taller than Old Lady Xu, looking about 1.67 meters tall.

Xu Ning was 1.8 meters tall with the gauze draped over him, which was more than enough.

"That's fine, Dayong wife, you can wash first."

"Mom, you should take a shower and rest for a while." Zhang advised. The weather was still hot and she was healthier than Old Lady Xu. She was afraid that the water would be too cold later and Old Lady Xu would not be able to bear it.

"Just wash it when I told you to. Why are you saying so much?"

"mother……"

"Oh, Grandma, Mom, let's wash it together. We still have the cloth. It can't be seen anyway, so what are we afraid of?"

"You little clay monkey, you have no shame. Come with me to get some clothes from the old family." After saying that, Old Mrs. Xu turned around and walked away proudly. Zhang followed quickly. Xu Ning laughed at their backs in the water.

The men of the Xu family were still lying on the beach resting, and they heard Xu Ning's exaggerated laughter from afar.

"Dad, what is my second sister laughing at?" Curious baby Xu Xiaobao asked Xu Da, who was lying next to him with his legs crossed. Xu Da's right foot was raised and the toes were moving slightly. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. He replied perfunctorily: "Oh, something happy must have happened to you."

"Dad, what's the happy thing?"

“Happy things are things that make you happy.”

"Dad, how can I make myself happy?"

"To be happy means to have enough to eat, warm clothes, money to spend, someone to spend time with, someone to talk to, and also..."

"There's nothing to eat!"

"Oh, Mom, can't I think of something that makes myself happy?" As soon as Old Mrs. Xu's voice appeared, Xu Da's divergent thoughts immediately gathered together.

"Haha, I think Xu Daya is too much like you. She has a lively personality and doesn't even look like a girl."

"Mom, why can you blame me for this? Daya is my biological daughter. Isn't it normal for her to look like me? Can she look like others? I am also your biological son..." Xu Da's voice became smaller and smaller. Zhang chuckled softly while sorting the clothes in the family's bags.

There was nothing to do during the half-month journey in the carriage, so Zhang and Old Lady Xu made a lot of new clothes together, and everyone in the Xu family had two pieces.

She planned to sort out the clothes of the four generations of grandfather and grandson before going to the creek with Old Lady Xu to take a bath.

"Come on, I'm afraid the midwife took the wrong baby when you gave birth."

"mother?!"

"Old man, are you ready? Come on, let's go take a bath." Old Mrs. Xu was too lazy to pay attention to her stupid son. She picked up her small bag and left. Zhang was quick and tidy as well.

"Hey! Mom, I'm done!"

"Wife? What are you doing?"

"Boss, my mother and I will go wash up first. You can come over when we come back."

"Where is Daya?" Xu Da asked again.

"She's still washing over there!" Zhang's voice became quieter as she walked away. Xu Da could only shout at the backs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Mother, daughter-in-law, tell Daya not to take so long to wash. Come back quickly!"

On the other side, Xu Ning listened to Baibaoxiang retelling the conversation by the carriage, and imagined how Old Lady Xu looked when she spoke, and couldn't help laughing.

"Bao, exchange for two more large-size swimsuits!" The treasure chest was placed in the small tent on the shore. Xu Ning was afraid that Old Lady Xu and Zhang wouldn't know how to wear them, so he prepared to go ashore and wait to teach them how to wear them.

"Huh?" Xu Ning had just taken two steps towards the shore when she suddenly felt something under her feet. She lowered her head and saw that it was a small bluish-white river fish.

The little river fish had already hidden itself back in the crevice of the rock; Xu Ning had only just seen it flash by.

"What's the matter? Daya?" The distance between the two places was short, and before Xu Ning had time to walk ashore, Old Mrs. Xu and Zhang had already come over.

"Grandma, let's have barbecued river fish tonight!"
